TOURIST TRAPPED AU (Part 2 of 2)

Out, in the windy forest, Dipper has nailed one of the signs that says “AMAZING” – Well done Manson, if she didn’t hate you before, she surely does it now, but is not like I just can tell her that I feel attracted to her as a woman, what kind of brother wants to bang his sister? – He hammers up another sign that say “The Mystery Shack”, and moves to the next tree – But I have to do something, because even if our parents decide to go back together, I’ll lose her forever – Dipper places a nail on the trunk of a tree, and rise the hammer – Why can’t I speak to her like a man?! – He hits hard the nail, with the hit, a clank is heard from the tree, the hammer goes out of Dipper’s hand, passing through a bush, scaring the goat, who jumps over the bush – Huh? – Dipper place his ear on the trunk, and hit the tree with his knuckle, making the tree clanks again – A metal tree?

Dipper examines the trunk with his fingers, when he feels something, he feels a crack on the trunk, he uses both hands to pull it, opening a wooden door that makes a rusty sound while he opens it, inside a hidden compartment, he sees what appears to be a very old radio spectrogram, over a lay of hay, covered in dust and spider webs, after looking around to be sure no one is watching him, he moves a couple of switches on the radio, behind him, near the goat, a hidden door opens, he hears the goat bleating before it runs away, Dipper turns to see the door, inside, he sees an old book covered in dust, parts of his cover are tearing apart, he blows to the cover to remove the dust, revealing the image of a golden left hand with six fingers, and a big black number 3 on it. Dipper sits, looks around again, and when he’s sure no one is looking at him, he opens the book, on the other side of the covers, he sees a monocle, he turns the page, where he sees written:

“June 18,
It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since I began searching the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon.

In all my travels, never have I observed as many curious things! Gravity Falls is indeed a geographical oddity”

Dipper turns the page, in each one of them are registered strange creatures, phenomena, and even rituals, the he stops on other page that says: 

“Unfortunately, my suspicious have been confirmed, I’m being watched.

I must hide this book before He finds it.

Remember – In Gravity Falls, there is no one you can trust.

TRUST NO ONE!”

-Wow, what is this? – Dipper stands up, closing the book, placing it under his left arm, he goes back to the radio, moves the switch until he sees the hidden door closing, then closes the door on the tree, and walks away.

Moments later, Dipper approaches to the Mystery Shack, he approaches to the door, when he sees a pale tall guy, wearing a black hoodie that has the left shoulder torn, blue jeans and black sneakers, walking as if he couldn’t hold the weight of his own body, out of the shack while he looks at the inside – Then, I… eh... will see you later, um, Pacifica – says while walks slowly. Dipper open wide his eyes, and Pacifica goes out, standing in the frame of the door – I’ll see you later, Norman – says while waves her hand – Who is he? -  Dipper ask – Hm, someone who wants to spend time with me, not like someone else – says while walks inside the shack, Dipper follows her without take his eyes out of Norman, but then, the door slams before Dipper can go inside, startling him.

In the attic, Dipper sits next the window, reading the journal he just found, then he stops in a page that says “The Undead creature #6”, with a hand draw of a creature that looks similar to Norman – Hey, this looks familiar, known for their pale skin and bad attitude, these creatures are often mistaken for… TEENAGERS!... beware Gravity Falls’ nefarious, zombie? – Then he closes the book – No, this journal is filling my head with weird ideas, Paci can’t be dating a zombie, right? – It’s a dilemma, to be sure – Dipper looks startled to a side, and sees Soos over a stool, changing a light bulb – Sorry, I couldn’t help but overhear you talking alone in this empty room – Soos, what do you think? am I going nuts for thinking Paci is in a date with an undead? – Look dude, I’m always noticing weird stuff in this town, like the mailman, pretty sure that dude is a werewolf, but before any conclusion, you gotta have evidence, otherwise, people are gonna think you’re a major league cuckoo clock. – Dipper stands up, and walks to Soos – As always, Soos, you’re right – My wisdom is both a blessing and a curse, also dude, you should try to fix the things with your sister, maybe you haven’t noticed it, but you’re really hurting her – and Dipper looks down, sad.

Moments later, Dipper, holding a portable record camera, is following Pacifica and Norman. On a mini golf field, he records how Pacifica is analyzing how to make a shot that passes through three water cannons that shots a stream of water one after the other, to make the ball be carried on a basket on the spinning blades of a mill, and be launched towards the hole; Pacifica makes her shot, passing the ball in front of the cannons just in time to avoid the streams of water, the ball rolls to end in one of the baskets of the blades, at the top of the mill, the ball is launched in direction towards the hole, but is launched so strong that ends hitting Norman on the head, falling face down on the ground, while Pacifica scratch her head, wondering how that happened.

On a community center, where a group of third agers are dancing with 1950s music, Pacifica dances doing some moves of that time, but Norman moves as if he couldn’t control his limbs, and ends moving out of scene, making crashing sounds while Pacifica looks worried, while Dipper keeps recording from behind some of the dancers.

On a graveyard, Pacifica and Norman are happily running, when Norman falls on an open grave, disappearing under the soft soil, then he takes his left arm out, and begins to go out as if were a zombie while Pacifica looks; when the upper part of Norman’s body goes out, they laugh, when suddenly three vultures descend over Norman, starting to peck him while Pacifica looks worried, and from behind a tombstone, Dipper lows his camera with a serious look – I’ve seen enough.

Back at the attic of the Mystery Shack, Pacifica is in front of a mirror as big as her, brushing her hair, when suddenly, Dipper comes in, slamming the door, making Pacifica looks at him – Paci, we need to talk about Norman – Ho, now you want to talk to me? – and turns back again to the mirror – I though you wanted to stay away from me – No, look, I’m trying to tell you that Norman is not what he seems – and takes out the journal, Pacifica looks the reflection of Dipper on the mirror, and turns to him, aiming to the journal with her comb – What is that old book? – I found it in a hidden compartment while I was placing the signs – and starts to turn the pages – It says that Gravity Falls has a secret dark side – Uh huh, and why do you believe that what that book says is true? – Because nobody hides something unimportant in the intricate way this was, and look, the pages suddenly stop, whoever wrote this, mysteriously disappeared – Ok, and how Norman fits in all this? – Because Norman is really, THIS! – And shows her a page that shoes a draw and info of Gnomes – Eh, Norman is too tall to be a gnome – What? no, I wanted to say – and Dipper turns more pages, until stops on the page of the undead – This! – Pacifica approaches, and reads the info - A zombie? that was not funny, anyway, I have another date with Norman – Pacifica walks to the door, but Dipper holds her from the shoulders, giving her a shake – Paci, he’s gonna eat your brains!

She looks at Dipper angry, and pushes his arms away – DIPPER, PLEASE STOP!, you have no idea how have been my life here since dad brought me, I live like a princess secluded in a guarded tower, I have a lot of amenities, but I barely go out!, I only leave the mansion when there are important celebrations, and just to reaffirm the presence of the Northwests in Gravity Falls – tears start to appear on from her eyes, making Dipper looks at her stunned – The reason why we are staying in the shack is because I decided to disobey dad, and asked Gruncle Stan to allow us to stay here during summer, the past hours have been the most freedom I have had in a long time, and until yesterday, I knew nobody in town except for Gruncle Stan, and when mom and dad told me that you were going to come, you can’t imagine how happy that made me, because I could spend all these days in company of who has been the most important person in my life, I… I just wanted to be with you, but you are making me to a side – she says the last word in a cut tone, that makes Dipper down his head ashamed, while Pacifica places her right hand on the side of her head – And you know the worst part? =sob= is that I don’t even know why you are doing it, did… did I do something to you to deserve that kind of treatment? You’re avoiding to give me any reason, and that’s killing me, is really killing me! Why my own brother doesn’t want to be with me?! – and places her hands on his shoulders, Dippers looks at her, and can’t apart his eyes of her crying eyes who looks her as begging him – Dipper, please, tell me, what I did wrong? why do you hate me?

Dipper takes Pacifica’s hands with his, and holds them firmly between his – Paci, no, you have done no wrong, is nothing that you have done, but is just that… is just that – Pacifica looks at him as if she were seeing a glance of hope, but Dipper lets loose her hands, and downs his head, but he remains in silence. Pacifica cleans her tears with her hands and tries to compose herself – That was your last chance Dipper =sob= now if you excuse me, I have a date – She makes him to a side, and walks out of the room, slamming the door, while Dipper sits on his bed – Now I totally ruined it, she was there, begging me to talk, and I just couldn’t open my mouth and let her know everything I feel! – he takes the camera, and starts to watch his recording of Pacifica and Norman – I hope at least Norman treats her better than I do – He watches a scene of the mini golf field, where Pacifica helps Norman to stand up, after he stands up, Pacifica walks to the next hole, with Norman following her, when suddenly, his right hand falls out of the sleeve of his hoodie, just to grab it quickly and place it again in his place – Wait, WHAT!? – he rewinds the record, to see again when Norman’s hand falls just to place it in his sleeve again – AHHHHH PACIFICA IS GONNA BE EATEN BY A ZOMBIE! – he stands up and runs out of the room.

Out of the shack, Stan shows to a group of tourists, a big rock that has a face craved on it – And here we have “rock that looks like a face” rock, the rock, that looks like a face – Does it look like a rock? – ask one of the tourists – No, it looks like a face – replies Stan – Is it a face? – ask another tourist – It’s a rock that looks like a face! – replies Stan, annoyed. – The tourists begin to ask things all at the same time, creating a lot of noise; Dipper arrives behind the crowd, and stars to jump and wave his arms to call his attention – Gruncle Stan Gruncle Stan, over here! – unluckily, Stan can’t see him with all the tourists, and he trying to answer as calm as possible the questions about the rock that looks like a face. Dipper then hears the sound of a motor, when he looks at his left, he sees Wendy, arriving on a golf cart and runs to her – Wendy! Wendy! – Wendy looks at him and he stops – IneedtoborrowthegolfcartsoIcansavemysisterfromazombie! – Wendy looks at him for a couple of second, then smiles, and gives the keys of the cart to Dipper – Try not to hit any pedestrians – She says before to walk to the shack. Dipper goes inside the cart, turning it on and driving out of the shack’s area when Soos approaches to him – Dude, is me, Soos – Dipper stops next to him, and Soos gives him a shovel – This is for the zombies – then he gives him a baseball bat – And this is in case you see a piñata – Thanks and…uh, thanks – replies Dipper, placing the objects inside the cart, and driving as fast as the cart can go across the forest.

Somewhere in the deep of the forest, Pacifica walks with Norman behind her, then Norman stops – Uh, Pacifica – and Pacifica stops, without turning to him – Now that we’ve gotten to know each other =exhales= There’s something I should tell you – Me too – replies Pacifica, still not turnings towards him – Norman, you are a nice guy, maybe a little uncoordinated, but still a nice guy, and I hate to tell you this, but sorry, I can’t be your girlfriend – and turns to him – I was just using you to give jealous to someone else, and I feel bad for doing this to you, and… - Pacifica looks doubtfully how Norman holds the zipper of his hoodie, lowering it, then takes the hood off, to reveal his body is made from five gnomes, two of white moustaches and beards inside the boots, other two of white moustaches and beards over the ones of the boots, holding fake arms, and one of brown beard and no moustache, standing up over the two of the arms.

Is this weird? is this too weird? You need to sit down? – ask the gnome on the top, while Pacifica looks at them astonished – R-Right, I’ll explain, so – start to tell the gnome at the top – Gnomes? Are you gnomes?! – ask Pacifica – I can’t believe Dipper was almost right about you! – Yeah, well, us gnomes have been looking for a new queen, right guys? – The gnomes start to agree, showing their sharp fangs – Heh, so what do you say? – he steps one of the gnomes under him, the five makes a movement that makes them look they are kneeling, placing a little blue box on the pal of the fake right hand, the box opens, revealing a ring made of three long diamonds – Wil you join us in holy matrignomey? Matri… matri-mony? bleahh, can’t talk today – I can’t believe – Pacifica says while she sits on a rock – I just, I just can’t believe it, not only my own brother doesn’t want me near to me, now a group of tiny little bearded men are asking for my hand in marriage, is this how is going to be my life from now?! Disappointing after disappointing with people keeping secrets from me all the time?! – the gnomes down their heads sad – We sorry for have lied to you, Pacifica, but we’ll work to make you happy as the queen of thousands of gnomes for all eternity, so what do you say? – Pacifica then stands up – Sorry guys but in this moment I – she cleans some tears from her eyes, and begins to walk away from the gnomes – I just want to be alone, that way, nobody will disappoint me – We understand, we’ll never forget you Pacifica… because we’re gonna kidnap you – Pacifica stops, and looks in shock to the gnomes – What?! – and the gnomes jumps towards her.

On the forest, Dipper is driving the golf cart, when he hears the screams of Pacifica – DON’T WORRY PACI, I’LL SAVE YOU FROM THAT ZOMBIE! – Dipper keeps driving, when suddenly, Pacifica appears from some bushes, jumping to the road, Dipper quickly steps on the brake, and the cart stops a few centimeters from Pacifica – Paci! – Dipper, oh Dipper! I’m glad you’re here! – and goes inside the cart fasting the seat belt – Take us out of here! – and Dipper drives fast – So Norman tried to eat your brains? – Norman was a bunch of gnomes! – Gnomes huh? I was almost right – That’s right, your book, there must say something about how to stop them! – No, it didn’t mentioned any weakness – Then, a big step is heard across the forest, when both look behind, they see a giant gnome made of all the gnomes of the forest, chasing them – Come back with our queen! – says the gnome of brown beard from the top of the giant gnome – Not even over my dead body I’ll let her in your hands! – says Dipper, the gnome stretched his right arm, launching three gnomes, one of them lands on the top of the cart, starting to chew the fabric hood, one appears from the hood, next to Pacifica, who punches him, launching him out of the cart, other appears behind Dipper, who grabs him with his left hand, and hits him against the steering wheel three times, before launching him out, other lands on the front of the cart, and launched against Dipper’s face, starting to scratch him, Pacifica punches the gnome, against Dipper’s face, before hitting him with an uppercut that launched the gnome out of the cart, along with Dipper’s cap – Wow, that felt good – Says Pacifica looking at her first – Thanks Paci – Says Dipper a little dizzy.

The gnome grabs a tree, and launches it, the tree falls behind the cart, touching it enough to make it go fly, when the cart lands, Dipper is having problems to handle it, driving to the edge of a cliff, jumping over it, passing through the Gravity Falls sign that Dipper saw on the road, but the cart lands safe. Dipper sees the signals he hammered, showing the route to the Mystery Shack, he drives Dipper following them. They see the shack, but then, Dipper goes over a rock, that pokes one of the wheels of the cart, making him lose control, the cart drifts, it falls over his right side, trailing until it stops near the shack. Dipper and Pacifica comes out unharmed, but then a big shadow covers them, and they see the giant gnome – Stay back, man! – Dipper launched him the shovel, but the gnome crushes it against the floor with his giant first, and both siblings hug each other – Where is Gruncle Stan? – Pacifica ask. Inside the shack, Stan is showing a trio of tourists a spiraling moving circle on a stick – Behold! the world’s most distracting object – the tourists wow in amaze – Just try to look away, you can’t… I can’t even remember what I was talking about.

Outside, Pacifica and Dipper walk backwards while the giant gnome approaches to them – Is the end of the line, kids – says the brown bearded gnome – Pacifica! Marry us before we do something crazy! – There’s gotta be a way out of this – says Dipper – There is one - Pacifica says while she walks to the gnome, before Dipper places his hand on her shoulder, moving in front of her – What?!, Paci, are you crazy?! – I know what I’m doing Dipper, trust me – Dipper looks at her eyes, they look pretty serious, then he moves away – Ok guys, you win, I’ll marry you – Hawt dog! – says the brown bearded gnome, and begins to climb down of the giant gnome, he approaches to Pacifica with the proposal ring, Pacifica kneels, stretching his left arms towards him, and the gnome places the ring on her ring finger – Bada-bing bada-bang – says the gnome while makes a funny little dance, while Pacifica looks at the ring – Now let’s get you back into the forest, honey – You may now, kiss the bride – Says Pacifica, then the gnome looks nervously to her – Well, uh, don’t mind if I do – he approaches to Pacifica to kiss her, closing his eyes, but then he hears the sound of a wind machine and the wind pulling him, when he opens his eyes, he sees Pacifica holding a leaves blower – Hey, wait a minute! – says the gnome, he tries to run, but the blower sucks him, leaving him trapped in the mouth of the blower. Pacifica aims the blower to the giant, she moves the switch of the blower all the way to Forward, and shoots the gnome to the giant, making all the gnomes lose the formation, the brown bearded gnome lands in the deep of the forest, while the other gnomes fall on the ground – Orders, I need orders – says one of them – Well, I have one for you – all they turn to Pacifica, who stars to blow them off, along with a bunch of leaves – Never come back and never mess with me not my family again! – all the gnomes run as if they were gophers, back to the forest.

Paci, you did it, you were amazing! – Dipper says while hugs Pacifica, who smiles – Thanks Dipper – but then her expression changes to one of seriousness, and pushes Dipper – But this has changed nothing – and begins to walk away – Paci, please wait! You are right, I have been acting as a jerk – Pacifica stops – and I have hurt you, I didn’t want to do it, but I have a good reason for the way I have been acting – Pacifica crosses her arms, and look at Dipper over her shoulder – And you’re gonna tell me why? Or are you going to still remain in silence? – Well, is just that… since I saw you yesterday, I couldn’t believe how beautiful you have turned, and I started to have emotions and ideas that a brother shouldn’t have towards his sister – Pacifica open wide her eyes, looking astonished to Dipper – That’s why I have been avoiding you, I thought that that was the best – he looks down, then Pacifica grabs him with both hands from the neck of his vest, approaching him to her, looking at him with seriousness – To our room, now.

Dipper and Pacifica walks inside the shack, looking tired and with their hairs covered in leaves. Stan is behind the cash desk, holding a bunch of bills on his right hand – Sheesh, you two get hit by a bus or something? HA! – laughs, hitting the desk, Dipper and Pacifica walks across the store, not paying him attention – Uh, hey! – They hear Stan calling them, then they turn to him – I accidentally overstocked some inventory – says while looks around – so how about each one of you take one item from the gift shop on the house? You know – Really? What’s the catch? – Pacifica ask – The catch s do it before I change my mind, now take something. Dipper and Pacifica look around the shop, Dipper looks a bunch of blue and white caps, with a blue pine tree on the front, he grabs one, placing it over his head, and looks at a mirror under the caps – Hmm, that’s gonna do the trick – And I’ll have this! – Says Pacifica, grabbing a grappling hook – Wouldn’t you rather grab a doll or something? – Ask Gruncle Stan – After today, I think this will come pretty handy, come on Dipper, we have to put some things on clear – Says while she and Dipper goes inside the shack. While they walk for the hall, Dipper takes a leaf out of his hair – I think I need a bath – Me too, I feel my hair is covered in sap – Well, I don’t want to have another ice bath, so this time I’ll go… - No, we’ll take the bath together – Pacifica interrupts him, grabbing him from his arm, pulling him – Wait, what? – Dipper says.

Moments later, Dipper is sit in the tub, with the water covering him at the height of his chest, with the curtains open; Pacifica approaches to the tub, with a towel covering her body, she leaves the towel to a side, showing her naked body, Dipper blushes, he tries to avoid seeing Pacifica, but her eyes turn back to her. Pacifica enters into the tub, sitting in front of Dipper, she also blushes, not trying to cover her exposed breast, she tries to avoid seeing Dipper, but she keeps the calm and keeps her eyes on him – Ok, we’re in maybe, the most embarrassing situation we could both find, so nothing that you say will make this more embarrassing, now talk! – Pacifica commands, Dipper sighs, he looks at Pacifica, and gives her a little smile – I really missed you, Paci, five birthdays without you next to me, made me feel empty, when dad asked me to come here to look out for you, I was very happy, finally I could see you once again, and be with you like in the old times =sigh= but never crossed my mind that you also grew up, and when I saw you yesterday on the bus stop, I didn’t see the sister who I spend half of my life with, but the most beautiful woman I have ever seen – Pacifica still blushes, and moves her head like indicating Dipper he can continue – And in that moment, I didn’t know what to do, I completely blocked and feel ashamed for seeing you in that way, that’s why I tried to avoid you, because I didn’t want to hurt you by letting my carnal desires on the loose, and I didn’t tell because, come on!, how could I say to my own sister that I’m avoiding her because I want to bang her?! – and Dipper downs her sight – I’m sorry for hurting you doing it, I thought that that would be the best solution, man I’m such a sick person – Pacifica sigh, she no longer blushes, and sees Dipper – Thanks for telling me the true, Dipper, now I know you did it for my own sake, also, you’re not the only sick person in this tub right now – Dipper raises his eyes, and sees Pacifica smiling at him – I understand what you’re feeling, because I felt the same when I saw you going out of that bus, when mom said that you were a nerd, I thought about you like a stereotypical nerd, what a surprise was to see how handsome you became, and when you acted as if no time had pass, I tried to seduce you – Wait, you what? – Didn’t you noticed it?, seeing me covered with a towel, letting you have a glimpse to my panties, bumping into your butt with my waist, asking you to go with you to the forest where we’ll be alone, I even tried to make you jealous for accepting a date with a goth boy that resulted being a bunch of gnomes – Dipper open wide his eyes with all what he was hearing, and stands up astonished – Wait, you were doing all that to attract my attention?! – but Pacifica watches Dipper’s manhood nervously astonished, and her face all red – Well, maybe I’m bad in seduction, but I see you really liked to hear about my efforts – Dipper looks down, noticing what Pacifica is watching, he blushes, and sits again – But is not what siblings should feel for each other – says Dipper – According to who?, nobody can dictate to who we have a crush or fall in love… but if you want a logic explanation, think about this, at some point of our existence, we were once, one single entity, then we separated in you and me, born together and staying together because that way, we felt complete again, but being separated for so many years only made that we wanted to feel complete again, but this time, with the need of a more deeper connection, it makes sense, don’t you think? – Dipper can’t avoid to giggle – When you say it in that way, it makes all the sense in the world – Yeah, but still, what are we feeling? And what kind of relationship are we gonna have? – Mmmm, let’s finish our bath first while we think about that, ha ha, I bet you don’t want your skin be all pruney – Dipper says with a smug in his face, Pacifica giggles, and launches water to Dipper – shut up.

A bath later, Dipper and Pacifica walks into their room, closing the door – I have been thinking – Pacifica says while she sits on her bed next to her new grappling hook; Dipper looks at her, Pacifica pats a zone of the mattress next to her, and Dipper sits next to her – There is an easy way to clear our confusion – And what is it? – We just must kiss – Ahhh, I’m not following you – Is easy, look, we kiss, if we feel nothing, it means that  what we experienced was just the shock of seeing us for the first time after so many years, so we can be just a normal couple of twins – Ok, I get it, but if we really have feelings for each other, we’ll need to have a long talk about how are we gonna handle it, not just during summer, but also depending if our parents go back together or not – Ok, then let’s do it – both stand up, looking at each other, Dipper approaches his face to hers, but it looks he’s looking for the best position to kiss her – Dipper, have you never kissed someone? – ask Pacifica – No never, and you? – No, me neither – says downing her head – This will be my first kiss – Then how do we do this? – ask Dipper – I think I know, just look at my eyes – both look eye to eye – Let’s approach slowly – they move their heads close to each other – And just leave the instincts do they work – while they approach, they close their eyes, their heads incline before their lips touch; after two second, they separate, but immediately they kiss again, with Pacifica placing her arms around Dipper’s neck, and Dipper placing his around her waist; their kiss last longer this time, until they separate, breathing and blushing hard – Ok… it looks we’ll have that long talk after all – says Dipper while tries to recover his breath – Yeah… I guess so… but we can do that tomorrow, tonight, please, let me enjoy this a little longer – Pacifica pushes against Dipper, kissing him again, and making both fall over the bed; the grappling hook falls to the ground, hitting the wall of suitcases, making them tremble, the hook bounces on them towards the lit oil lamp, hitting it and throwing it out of the window, leaving the room in the dark, while the sound of suitcases falling is heard – Ok, tomorrow I’ll call to the mansion so they return some of them – Pacifica says.

While, in the shack’s shop, Stan is next to the vending machine, he presses a sequence of buttons that makes the vending machine moves, revealing a secret passage, Stan stands at the entrance, looking at the shop in a suspicious way, he pulls the vending machine back at its place, and while he disappears into the passage, the bleating of the goat is heard – And someone could please take this goat out of the room! Gruncle Stan!, Gruncle Stan can you hear me?!, Guncle Stan!.
